CAEP Accreditation

The College of Education is the hub of teacher education programs at Purdue, providing instruction on teaching methods and overseeing all clinical experiences and licensure. Programs in Elementary Education, Social Studies Education, and Special Education are housed within the college. Five partner colleges provide content expertise in subjects including Math, English, Agriculture, Early Childhood and Exceptional Needs, Family and Consumer Sciences, Visual Arts, Engineering Technology, and the Sciences. Purdue Online also provides unique access to a variety of additional licensure programs focusing on High Ability, English Language Learning, Special Education, Educational Leadership, and a variety of Transition to Teaching opportunities.

The College of Education at Purdue University is accredited at the initial-licensure level by CAEP, the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation. Purdue earned this national recognition by demonstrating excellence in the areas of content and pedagogy, clinical experiences, selectivity, program impact, and capacity for continuous improvement for initial licensure within our Teacher Education Program.

The College of Education will undergo a review of its Advanced Programs in Teacher Education in the spring of 2022. Those programs are Educational Leadership, High Ability, English Language Learning, Career and Technical Education Leadership, and Special Education.

If you would like to contact CAEP you may visit www.caepnet.org, by phone at (202) 223-0077 or mail correspondence to: 1140 19th St NW, Suite 400, Washington, DC 20036.

Educator Preparation Program Comparative Data and Performance Data

All programs are state-approved in Indiana. The College of Education works closely with the Indiana Department of Education to assure compliance with state requirements for educator professional licensure.

By state law, the Indiana Department of Education (IDOE) collects and reports information from Educator Preparation Programs (EPPs) annually. Review the list of information collected from EPPs, principals, teachers, and schools.

This information must be reported using a matrix which is to be posted to the IDOE website. While this matrix is not intended to rank or “grade” programs, it provides an opportunity for the public to interpret or compare program quality based on a variety of data points. Please note that all data points are based upon the September 1– August 31 Title II timeframe.

Accountability Measures

CAEP (Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation) requires four accountability measures, which are used to provide information on program outcome and program impact. Below are the four reporting measures for our programs for the corresponding academic years with links to data tables that provide supporting evidence for each measure, including the IDOE reports.

Measure 1a. (Initial) Impact on P-12 Learning & Development (CAEP R4.1)

Principals surveyed by the Indiana Department of Education in 2023 provided feedback on first and second-year Purdue College of Education initial licensure alumni. They found Purdue graduates to be prepared in their knowledge of content and pedagogy and prepared with appropriate professional dispositions.

Hiring principals agree that our graduates impact P12 learning growth and display the professional knowledge, skills and dispositions necessary for their profession. They:

  • Understand how students learn
  • Meet expectations for content preparation and knowledge
  • Adhere to the legal and ethical requirements of the teaching profession

Principal Survey Results

Principals are responding to statements divided into three domains (knowledge, disposition, and performance) and reflect elements of both national professional standards (NCATE/CAEP) and the Model Core Teaching Standards, Interstate Teacher Assessment and Support Consortium (InTASC). EPPs are expected to meet these standards in order to prepare educators for licensure (511 IAC 13-1-1).

Measure 4. (Initial and Advanced) Ability of Completers to be Hired in Education Positions for Which They Have Been Prepared

Purdue University’s Center for Career Opportunities assist us in identifying employment information for graduates.

In 2023, 97% of our undergraduate students were employed or in graduate school within six months of graduation. Candidates in our Advanced Programs are primarily educators and administrators already working in educational settings who are returning for additional training and licensure. Purdue College of Education will conduct analysis of advanced candidates in the 2023-34 academic year, in conjunction with preparations for the next CAEP review in Spring 2026.
